Mandatory civics class for all celebrity governors

We can't blame Arnold's ignorance on California's broken schools-- perhaps he knows how Austrian government works.

State Standards
History/Social Science
Grade Level: Fourth

Content Strand: California: A Changing State
Substrand: 4.5
Goal for Substrand:





4.5.5 Describe the components of California’s governance structure (e.g., cities and towns, Indian rancherias and reservations, counties, school districts).

Perhaps we need standardized testing for gubernatorial candidates: before they are eligible for office, they must test at least at fourth grade level.
